<div><a href="http://jamesgichohi.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/mg_8289-copy-copy-copy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-110" title="Mt Kenya" src="http://jamesgichohi.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/mg_8289-copy-copy-copy.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=682" alt="" width="1024" height="682" /></a></div>
<div>Mt.Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain after Kilimanjaro. This extinct volcano is estimated to be 2.5 million years old. Time has taken its toll on the former, reducing the peak from 6500m to 5199 m today, while nature’s untiring eroding agents long ago eroded the crater.</div>
<div>Mt. Kenya is located 180km north of Nairobi within the Mount Kenya National park. The park protected area 3200m above sea level and was established in 1949 and covers an area of 715 sq km. The mountain comprised of three main zones: &#8211; the rocky peak zone, the afro-alpine moorland with it’s scattering of giant vegetation and the extensive tower slope covered with mountain forest and a bamboo there are over 81plant species. Any fit and prepared person can reach point Lenana, the so-called trekker’s peak; the summit has the twin peaks of 5199m Batian and Nelion and is considered more technically challenging than the higher Mt Kilimanjaro at 5894m.</div>
<div>Choose between Sirimon-Chogoria and Naro Moru Routes.</div>
<div><a href="http://jamesgichohi.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/mg_8490.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-111" title="_MG_8490" src="http://jamesgichohi.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/mg_8490.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=682" alt="" width="1024" height="682" /></a></div>
<div>Mt. Kenya National Park.</div>
<div>Mount Kenya, at an altitude of 5199 [17058ft] the country&#8217;s highest mountain, has its higher slope permanently covered in snow and ice, even though it sits astride the equator.</div>
<div>The National park comprises the mountain above the 320m [10,500ft] contour plus two salient astride the Naro moru and the Sirimon routes.</div>
<div>The mountain consists of three peaks the Batian [the highest] Nelion and Lenana. Of these peaks, the original hard center core is all that remains; the bulk of the volcano has been eroded away with time.</div>

<p><strong>Do you want to join a network of hostels in Kenya and be part of the Hostelling International ?</strong></p>
<p>Kenya Youth Hostels Association has been trying to set up a chain of youth hostels and camping sites in kenya. The existing youth hostels are too far apart for easy travelling by one&#8217;s own efforts. We reckon a day&#8217;s hike to be 10 to 20 miles and a day&#8217;s cycle ride to be 40 to 80 miles. A chain from Mombasa via Nairobi to Lake Turkana would therefore require hostels at, say every small town en route in addition to those already established and exists. There is the need to circuit around all corners of the Republic of Kenya.</p>
<p>We also envisage to a greater adventure a cross borders of Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi , Congo and  south Sudan are on the move already.</p>
<p><strong>What is Required</strong></p>
<p>To start a youth hostel or a campsite, you need a simple overnight accommodation with a constant water supply, such as a a small building near a farmstead. The farmer or wife will be appointed warden, and will be asked to see that the hut is secure against theft and left clean and tidy by the hoteliers when they leave.</p>
<p><strong>Are you interested?</strong></p>
<p>If you would like to be an affiliate hostel/campsite or agent, please send us an email and we will get back to you.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have a suitable hut?</strong></p>
<p>If yes, Kenya Youth Hostel Association would advice you on decoration and furnishing</p>
<p><strong>Do you have a site but no Building?</strong></p>
<p>We are still interested. Some of our members prefer to camp out, and we may be able to put up a building on site. Wayside shop can also help.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliation Fee</strong></p>
<p>Once your request has been considered having met the requirements for affiliation, you will sign an agreement with Kenya Youth Hostels Association, after which you will pay by either cheque/money order/cash or bank transfer, a sum of Kshs 10,000 yearly.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong></p>
<p>Any one who has no farm but is willing to help in any other way is requested to send his/her suggestions, which shall be gratefully received and acknowledged. Donations in any kind and money &#8211; no matter how small are most welcome.</p>
<p>And why not take out a membership card to start with? see the online application<a href="http://yhak.org/member-form">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Youth Hostelling in kenya and world.</strong></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color:#466dca;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">100 Years History of World Hostelling</span><span style="color:#993333;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></strong></p>
<p>The idea of the youth hostel movement was born in Germany way back in 1909 when a German school teacher, the late Richard Schirrmann, concerned that his pupils knew so little about the surrounding countryside. He started the idea of providing simple overnight accommodation for his classes during their explorations of the country. He arranged hikes for his pupils and more permanent accommodation began to be provided in hostels. As these came to be known, the idea spread to other countries in Europe and later to other continents.</p>
<p><img src="http://yhak.org/uploads/files/kenya_photos_01.jpg" alt="Kenya Photo About" width="450px" /></p>
<p>The first youth hostels, established in Central Europe from 1909 onwards, were intended to help young people and specially school children to escape from industrial cities to the clear air and refreshing peace of the countryside and to restore their lost contact with nature. With this went an encouragement for walking as a healthy and inexpensive recreation for school children. Such trips in the country could have an important educational purpose. The whole class, with its teacher, could study plant life, animal life, geology, agriculture and many other subjects, bringing to life the book learning of the city to the countryside. For young adults, exploring the country on their own or with one or two friends, seeking an economical bed each night at a youth hostel, there was a valuable development of character and initiative, routes to be planned, maps to be studied, equipment and food to be prepared, then, in the hostel, a share in the domestic duties, from potato peeling to sweeping of floors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It became apparent that an equally valuable function of the youth hostel was to bring together young people of different backgrounds, occupation, religious or political beliefs. In a hostel, the university student or the rich man&#8217;s son enjoy no advantage over the apprentice or young labourer. It is not money, education or dress with win respect, but friendly camaraderie. The International Youth Hostel Federation, which is the federation of independent national associations, was formed in 1932.</p>
<p>Over the years, the movement has actually spread to all parts of the world in over 60 countries and has a network of about 4500 hostels worldwide.</p>

<h1>What is the meaning of youth hostels?</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A Youth Hostel is a building which offers inexpensive accommodation to young people exploring their country or the world, it also provides a meeting place in which young people of different social back ground, opinion and nationality can meet and come to know each other.</p>
<p>Its function is educational in the widest sense of the world.Hostels provide friendly, inexpensive overnight accommodations for travellers. Hostelling International hostels assure travellers the utmost in quality standards including cleanliness, security ,comfort and service.</p>
<p>Hostels offer dormitory-style rooms with separate quarters for men and women. Some hostels also have private family and couples rooms. All hostels provide a blanket and pillow. Linens are often included in the price, or available for rental in some hostels .</p>
<p>Most hostels offer fully equipped self-service kitchens or cafeterias, dining areas, secure storage and common rooms for relaxing and socializing with other travellers. Some hostels have laundry facilities, travel libraries and concierge service. There are a few that even have  swimming pools, Our mission is &#8220;to help all, especially the young, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people through hostelling.&#8221; The mission is accomplished through our extensive network of hostels offering a wide-range of programs and activities.</p>
<p>A founder of the Youth Hostels Network  Richard Shirmann said: &#8220;Every forest, every valley, every flower, every mountain, every village and every city are separate pages of your Motherland. You should read these pages in your own experience and not in books.</p>
<p>The Earth is huge. When you travel, you see the details, and this is the biggest joy on the planet. For this purpose we are now opening Youth Hostels.</p>
<p>However, you also need to travel outside your country, to meet your neighbours, to know them better and to appreciate those who speak other language and have different history. To do this, I am now calling upon you, our friends and neighbours, to open Youth Hostels and to do it for all young people on the Earth. They must become places of peace and comfort for the good of all humanity.</p>
<p>Trade mark &#8221;Youth Tourism &amp; Hostels of Kenya&#8221; creates own youth hostels chain and cooperates with youth hostels in Kenya like tour operator, marketing adviser and activities coordinator. We offer to our clients Hostel Trips &#8211; tours which are based on accommodation in hostels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kenya Youth Hostels Association</strong></p>
<p>The initiative for the launching of the youth hostel movement in kenya was taken way back to early 1957, when a past president of the International Youth hostel Federation, the late Mr. E. St. John catchpoll visited Kenya and induced certain socially active personalities to start it in Kenya.</p>
<p>Most of those people are no longer with us. Among them were people like Sir Godfrey Rhodes, Dr.L.S.B. Leakey, Mr. Edmund Crosher, Mr. Musa Amalemba, Hon. Jeremiah Nyaga, Mr. G.S, Amar, Sir D.Q. Erskine and Mr. Acharya. They took up the challenge and asked the then Kenya Federation of Social Services to convene a meeting to make suggestions on the possibility of starting a Youth Hostel Association here.</p>
<p>The first party was convened by this Federation on Monday 29th April 1957 (our foundation day) and met in Armstrong house, Delamere Avenue (now Kenyatta Avenue). Nairobi was under Mr. D.Q. Erskine&#8217;s chairmanship.</p>
<p>This, in effect was the founding of the Kenya Youth Hostel Association (KYHA). These early efforts received a tremendous boost when through the good offices of Mr. St. John CatchPool, $1500 was donated to KYHA ad-hoc committee in 1959-60 by the Dulverton Trust.</p>
<p>This donation assisted the committee in efforts to develop a good network in Kenya in those early days as it was not enough to purchase any significant building.</p>
<p><img src="http://yhak.org/uploads/files/nairobi_hostel.png" alt="Nairobi Hostel" width="430px" /></p>
<p>In 1966, the then Minister for Health, Hon. John C.N. Osogo, who at the time was the chairman of KYHA convinced the International Youth Hostel federation that KYHA was not only alive and kicking but that it was able to fulfil the minimum conditions required to affiliate with the parent body. Then, Kenya, on the same year became part of the International Youth Hostel Federation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 1976, KYHA bought an old house on Ralf Bunche road through funds that were generated from membership fees and overnight collections form Nairobi Youth Hostel as well as from the kind support of the International Youth Hostel Federation, The German Youth Hostels, YHA of England, Wales and the Kenya Government.</p>
<p>The youth hostel in nairobi, which still stands, became the secretariat of the Kenya Youth Hostels Association and has been redeveloped to match the International Standards of youth hostels as set by the hostelling international.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Climbing Mt Kenya<br />
Mt. Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain after Kilimanjaro. This extinct volcano is estimated to be 2.5 million years old. Time has taken its toll on the former, reducing the peak from 6500m to 5199 m today, while nature’s untiring eroding agents long ago eroded the crater.<br />
Mt. Kenya is located 180km north of Nairobi within the Mount Kenya National park. The park protected area 3200m above sea level and was established in 1949 and covers an area of 715 sq km. The mountain comprised of three main zones: &#8211; the rocky peak zone, the afro-alpine moorland with it’s scattering of giant vegetation and the extensive tower slope covered with mountain forest and a bamboo there are over 81plant species. Any fit and prepared person can reach point Lenana, the so-called trekker’s peak; the summit has the twin peaks of 5199m Batian and Nelion and is considered more technically challenging than the higher Mt Kilimanjaro at 5894m.</p>
<p>Choose between Sirimon-Chogoria and Naro Moru Routes.</p>
<p>Mt. Kenya National Park.</p>
<p>Mount Kenya, at an altitude of 5199 [17058ft] the country&#8217;s highest mountain, has its higher slope permanently covered in snow and ice, even though it sits astride the equator.</p>
<p>The National park comprises the mountain above the 320m [10,500ft] contour plus two salient astride the Naro moru and the Sirimon routes.</p>
<p>The mountain consists of three peaks the Batian [the highest] Nelion and Lenana. Of these peaks, the original hard center core is all that remains; the bulk of the volcano has been eroded away with time.</p>
